This week on the AskHistorians Podcast we managed to sit down
with three of the wonderful women of @dig_history to talk history
podcasting, #twitterstorians, Jill Lepore, What to Expect When
You're A History-Loving Highschooler, what #history can learn from
#librarylife and so much more!

Today we talk with Dr. Edward J. Watts, author of Mortal
Republic: How Rome Fell Into Tyranny (Basic Books, 2018) about
how Rome transitioned from a republic to an empire, and the
politics of economics and social accountability.
